Prior gardening experience or applicable coursework is desirable. You must be self motived, capable of working independently, and able to respectfully interact with homeowners.We typically work 5 days/week 9:15 - 3:45 (dependent on weather). This position is for 3 to 5 days per week throughout the gardening season and will likely wrap up in November or early December. We have jobs located throughout Boulder so you must have your own transportation to travel to jobs each day, and ideally a truck.So if you find yourself longing to spend days amongst the flowers, please send me a cover letter and resume at (botanylandscapegardening AT gmail.com) and well set up a time to talk about the position further.
